Lakers report: Getting inside

Although the likelihood of the Lakers facing the San Antonio Spurs in the playoffs' first round is lessening, the teams will play for the final time this season Thursday night at Staples Center. The Lakers got a big confidence-builder for their season with a March 10 victory at AT&T Center, 100-92.

Kobe Bryant scored 29 points in that game, despite the strong defense of San Antonio's Bruce Bowen. But it was the Lakers' defense that ruled the game, holding San Antonio to 13 second-quarter points.

Interestingly, San Antonio's Tim Duncan hasn't led his team in scoring in any of the three meetings between the Lakers and Spurs this season. The Lakers last beat the Spurs at Staples Center in a regular-season game on Nov. 28, 2003.

REPLAY
The Lakers beat the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets, 105-94, on Sunday night at Staples Center. The victory dropped the Hornets four games back of the Lakers and gave the Lakers' playoff hopes a significant boost.

Lakers center Kwame Brown gave the Lakers a fourth consecutive productive game, and that went a long way to giving the Lakers their fourth consecutive victory. Brown had 17 points on 7-of-7 shooting, plus six rebounds, in 38 minutes.

Brown was playing despite a strained left hamstring and got his nose bloodied twice on drives to the hoop. Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 30 points on 10-of-19 shooting.

Much is talked about the Lakers and their efficient triangle offense, the post play of the bigs, and of course the lethal Kobe Bryant. However, the defense of the defending champions should not be overlooked. The Lakers have arguably the best defense in the league. The Laker ...(more)

With the trade deadline roughly two and a half months away rumors are starting to trickle in pertaining to possible roster moves ect.  The Lakers clearly have a deficiency in terms of bench depth/production, an area that for all intents and purposes is the only chink in their armor outside of aging ...(more)

There was an odd little piece from Laker LAT beat reporter Broderick Turner that just got posted about Sasha Vujacic lamenting the fact that he's been relegated to "garbage time" minutes as the 3rd string back up to the shooting guard position, behind Sha ...(more)

I'm expecting a visit from punchline during this thread.


Good win by the Lakers against the Hornets.. The bench struggled in the 4th quarter, but the important thing is that our starters got a nice rest.

they are showing our beloved defending world champions on TV tonight on NBA.TV.  I didn't get the NBA league pass this year thinking we'd see our Lakers on TNT, ESPN and NBA.TV a majority of the time.  How wrong I was, so far anyway, but at least I get to see them live tonight.  Quit showing the crappy teams on ...(more)

Still no Pau Gasol and were still doing good without him. Man Lakers is going to win it three to five years.  In what was billed as the biggest challenge for the Lakers in the early going, the defending champions answered in resounding fashion, thrashing the ...(more)

it's time for Derek Fisher to be relegated to the bench.  It pains me to say it because Fish has been nothing but class and professionalism since he became a Laker in 1996.  Coming out of a small college and overachieving to become a 4-time world champion are obvious testaments to his work ethic and commitment.  ...(more)

The way I see it, it's a no-brainer that the Lakers should sign Iverson, to join what is already the greatest show on earth. It's really a no-lose situation. The upside is, Iverson is still a pretty good offensive player, and would be a huge upgrade over Farmar, Sasha, Brown, even Fisher. Iverson would likely mellow out & except a reduc ...(more)

I'm did the Prediction contest and didn't see the Hornets game thread. So i'll start it since dpwtv might be out of town still.

I really like the way Kobe shot the ball against the Nets. Did anyone else notice he had Slower release and a higher arch on his threes? Looked goo

Ever since the Lakers traded Shaq away and gave full reign to kobe i never thought anyone would be as important to the success of the franchise than kobe.  But after seeing how the lakers have played without pau and how they played with him against Chicago I am a believer that ...(more)
